The Indianapolis Colts will be without receiver Marvin Harrison (bruised left knee), defensive tackle Raheem Brock (ribs), safety Antoine Bethea (sprained left knee) and defensive end Robert Mathis (two sprained knees) Sunday when they face the Oakland Raiders. Bethea and Mathis were injured last Sunday in Baltimore, and Harrison already has missed eight games with a knee injury. Running back Kenton Keith is questionable with a sprained thumb that kept him out of practice Wednesday.

Commentary: Harrison's future availability is in question, so quarterback Peyton Manning is depending on rookie Anthony Gonzalez to continue to fill in. "Nobody really has any clue around here about Marvin and what's going on there, so Gonzo's the guy," Manning told reporters. "I don't know anything. It's Gonzo who's out there at the right. ..."

Fantasy Football Impact: The absence of Harrison for most of the season has affected both the Colts and fantasy teams that drafted him. It is obvious that age -- he is 35 -- is starting to catch up with him, and even if he comes back healthy in 2008, his best days are behind him. Gonzalez is really starting to come on; he has two 100-yard games in the past three weeks and is coming off his best performance -- six catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns.
